This may be an option for Aussie buyers to get around the GSP/UPS system.................

have you seen the prices?

Have you checked their shipping rates? Much more expensive than the other US parcel forwarding companies.

Yeah, not any cheaper. Obviously ripping us off blind here isn't enough for them they now want part of the parcel traffic into this country. Maybe it is due to the fact that most of us have stopped offering our items to overseas buyers and it is hurting their billion dollar profit margin.

I shall slink off to a corner hanging my head in shame harley, bbs and wilk.........

It could be a solution however for those US sellers unwilling or unable to opt out of the GPS, when a buyer wants, for example, a set of chef's knives..........................

Padi, not your fault that Australia post is the mafia of shipping. It was good to think we might be able to give the GSP the flick but as the old adage goes if it sounds to good to be true it usually is

Sorry Padi, didn't mean to bag your post  🙂  I just wanted to point out there are other parcel forwarding services that offer the same options with cheaper shipping rates.

Sorry Padi, didn't mean to shoot the messenger.
